Beef Pricewatch launched with detailed statistics on meat

Comprehensive week-by-week statistics on the Irish meat industry are now available under the Beef PriceWatch heading on the www.agriculture.gov.ie website of the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine.

As part of his beef roundtable initiative, Agriculture Minister Simon Coveney committed to launching the “Beef Pricewatch” online tool to make price information more accessible and free of charge to farmers.

Prepared by the Department’s Meat and Milk Policy Division, deadweight prices, liveweight prices, the number of cattle slaughtered, and live exports for the previous week are listed, along with a market summary for beef.
